What absolutely the temperature is, is not as important as that it remain stable. Got big money? Spend a bit more on a hydrometer with an internal thermometer as a "standard". Have little money? Utilize two cheapies inside the system.

Now lets see, where are we? Youve got the tank and filtration all checked out for leakage, the lighting situated, air and heating tuned in; youre ready for gravel (if youre using it), rock and other non-living decoration installation!

You want my advice? Refer to Section 5) C) Cleaning Coral and Decor and prete

The creation of this list was not based on any type of scientific method, but rather on our own experience with the many aquariums weve installed. Each species on this list, has consistently proven able to tolerate high levels of ammonia and nitrite, for at least six weeks, in hundreds of saltwater aquariums installed by The Aquarium Professionals Group. We have had success with each of the listed species on at least fifty separate occasions, and with some species, many more.

It is important to note, that we h

They can then be swiveled to finesse the dynamic of water flow in the aquarium as corals grow or wane, or when the seascape changes for any other reason. A slight restriction of water flow can be achieved by heating another short stem of pipe and crimping it to produce a restricted flare-tip that will increase the velocity of effluent water. This modified nipple is to be placed, of course, into an effluent tee. Some discretion is required here, however, as the resistance from a single crimped outlet will likely translate into water taking an easier path of resistance namely, another open outlet(s).

I strongly encourage (along with good, square cuts and new/er, clean pipe and fittings) the use of "landscape" PVC solvent... like the green viscous kind/s or best "Christys Red Hot Blue Glue"... which works well even in wet, dirty (under tank) environments.

I am forever telling folks to "work from the fixed end" in doing plumbing work... after carefully measuring, cutting, laying out the parts and cut pipe, to thread, solvent all from the most fixed point (like a wall or a pump or a tank...) on out. Use pap

On the plus side they are small, powerful, and inexpensive. On the negative side, my experience has shown these pumps to be unreliable and potentially dangerous. I have had a number simply fail to operate after just a year or two of service. Worse yet, I have also received mild shocks from a couple of these pumps. The potential for electrocution was the final straw. I systemically went through my customers tanks and replaced all the Rio pumps with comparable ones from other manufacturers. This was both a liability and cost-effectiveness issue. I can easily replace and bill a customer
